Our Guided Tours:
available for Seneca Lake and Queen Catherine Marsh
Hike & Paddle Tour: Departing from our lakeside location in Watkins Glen, your tour will head down Catherine Creek into the hidden gem of the Catherine Creek Marsh. As we paddle into the marsh we will land our kayaks and hike into the wilds. You will then have the opportunity to encounter a vast array of wildlife: deer, beaver, muskrat, foxes, turtles, frogs and countless birds. The scenery makes this kayak tour a nature lovers paradise. Enjoy the solitude of this hidden Finger Lakes gem.
Seneca Lake Paddle: Here you will enjoy a paddle down the canal, where you will encounter blue herons, king fishers, deer and beaver…just to name a few. As you leave the canal and its marinas, you will enter the crystal waters of Seneca Lake. Here you will have the opportunity to paddle past the Painted Rocks, Hector Falls, and Watkins Glen Marina Park.
All rentals and tours include PFD’s and paddles.
